05.17.26 -- Three Radiopharma CEOs Talk Challenges And New Opportunities

JUMPING OVER REGULATORY AND TECHNOLOGY HURDLES

This weekend’s selections from Life Science Leader share pro tips from industry executives navigating changes in the regulatory and technological landscape. In radiopharmaceuticals, new isotopes have emerged as the backbone of new therapeutics, and three CEOs joined a live panel to talk about new indication opportunities and operational challenges associated with delivering radiopharmaceuticals to patients.

 

On the regulatory front, experts Kimberly Chew and Odette Hauke explore the risks embedded in the FDA’s real-time clinical trial monitoring pilot. Modernizing the FDA is critical for maintaining the U.S.’s innovative edge, and real-time trial monitoring could speed up regulatory decision-making. However, speed is not the only measure of success, write Chew and Hauke.

 

On the Business of Biotech, Infinimmune’s Wyatt McDonnell, Ph.D. explains how computation and next-generation sequencing technology evolved to jumpstart the discovery of human-derived antibody drugs.
